THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

The homestead law was discussed dur
ing the immigration convention and II
was shown very clearly that 1t is a pro-
vision dear to the heart of Texas. II is
wise and benehcient law beyond doubt,
but it is not worthy the veneration SO
idolatrously vouchsafed by many. 1t
could be improved and made bettesthan
it ia. tits too loose and indefnite and 1t
should be defined. While its object and
intent is to protect the poor against their
own errors or misfortunes, it Is SO in
definite and sweeping that it often is used
as a means to defraud the poor and
protect the vicious. ReserviDg the home
and protecting the family roof tree ia wise
and lsudable, but IL that home
is worth million It's owner can retire to
and live in it and refuse to pay the poor
man who has no homo, and whose family
is dependent upon what Is earned from
day to day, his just dues. This is one
wrong feature Of the law and that is only
e virtue exaggerated. II homestead
law was enacted shat would define whist
a homestead meant aud how much Of
homestead fsmily could claim, reducing
the value to 81 reasonable sum, it would
be better thsn the present one. Capital
lists complain that it is Injurious to the
state to have il known sbresd that man
cannot mortgage his farm to improve it,
but that is too narrow @ view of the queg-
ton. Business men complain inst on &C
count OF the homestead law cspi-
tai cannot be obtained and that
SO long as it remains the two per
cent. q month interest will also remain,
and they are right. Kansas and other
states that are progressing SO rapidly are
being covered with mortgages. Money
is cheaper there than in Texas and super
fetal observation would indicate that this
state was being outstripped. The truth
is, however, that Texas is improving so
rapidly as any other state, because those
states that show greater increase are in
debt for the mo1ey-.heir Improvements
are owned by others and do not belong
to them. Texas people are Flooding
along to be sure, but they sre kept out of
debt by the homestead lew and will have
no day of reckoning and no crash. The
state Is being held b.ck By the Homestead
law undoubtedly, but it is not plunging
in debt as are other states. The home
stead law should not be repealed, but it
should be defined more Clearly.

man Of the committee on ways and means
He will virtually be the Democratic leader
in the house. His views are well known
He is tariff reformer. Texas, as; s
whole, is in accord with him On the tariff
question, but the eyes OF the entire
country will be turned toward him as the
champion of advanced ideas and effective
work in the line Of tariff reform
There is no question but that cur Texas
Congressman now occupies position
which is at once the most responsible in
Congress. That he will acquit himsel!
satisfactorily can be confidently expected
OF course the advocates Of
tariff reform will meet oppo
sition, both from Republicans anG
from coterie Of their own party. There
is no reason to expect that the opposition

ly for the reduction OF tariff
duties. Il IS foregone con-
clusion that radical tariff reform will
be effected during the present session OF
Congress, and the people may be congrat-
ulated on that fact.
The bold message of the President has
put the Republican party On the deiens-
i've. The tariff will be the main issue in
1888. Any such declaration IS Re-
publican conventions have been
in the habit Of making
will be Ineffective next year. There Can
be no lodging OF the tariff reform issue.
There are many minor issues involved in
the tariff reform question, but thay will
be properly adjusted. There will be no
serious division Of The Democratic party
in Congress. Democratic statesmen have
had good schooling and Will not
make an issue where there is
none. They will be more
careful than they ever have been. They
can afford to be reasonably conservative.
The tariff reformers in Congress, TO use
common expression, are on top. They
have every means to keep their position,
and there is no reason why they should
not quit themselves like men ard bring
about that reform which the whole coun-
try is anxiousIy expecting.
